Thanks for any help, Any pictures?

I took all the original brake stuff off my car & didn't take pics of it sorry Dave.. It's all boxed up & stored & really hard to get too .

As far as I have been able to fiqure on these things is that the calipers are Kelsey Hayes 4 piston, the spindles are 67-69 maybe 70 disc brake, but the rotors are very specific to these cars only being 4 1/2" BC. I've heard they were originally used for the rally or road race cars. I saw what looked to be a very close rotor on a 68 SCJ Mustang using the Kelsey calipers.

Have you checked Jim Schilds book he published. I remember some good pics & info in there I believe.

So everything is factory A body except the hub and rotor that is special to theses cars?

Dave,
Dan & Daryl are correct. The only differences are the rotor & hub with the 4.5" bolt circle and 1/2" studs. I believe the std A-Bodies had 7/16" studs. The calipers are the std K-H 4-piston and the control arms are the factory non-sway bar ones.

Great shots of the West Virginia Hemi cars Mopar68! Two of my favorites, and two of the cleanest cars I've ever seen at a drag strip. These were taken at Indy, but I don't remember what year....
